Start with a Class Library, then use Project Manager to set the
Configuration Type to Windows DLL. Building the DLL should generate an
associated Import Library, and that Import Library is what you need to link
with your Windows Forms application.

(Unless you want the Windows Form application to load the DLL dynamically
under programmatic control - like a plugin behaviour - in which case you'll
need to use Win32 LoadLibrary calls and GetProcAddress calls, if I remember
correctly.)
